starting new events at 6pm - wth?

could you please consider introducing different time zones in the game?
I'm located in germany, and it was pleasant to have new events start at 8 or 9 am to have time during the day and in the evening do nothing else than collect the arena / ship fights and collect the rewards.

can we please get back the event start in the morning?

It's starting globally in their morning so they can deal with any issues right away instead of letting it run through the night. IMO a good move, especially given the state of new releases lately. And splitting the start by timezones would give an advantage to the later ones (up to a day longer to prepare when all is known) and possibly enable some shenanigans with phone setting.
That said, yeah, it's a bit inconvenient here in central Europe...

UK here, and I'd much rather have an event start at 19:00, knowing the support team in the USA is in the office in case there's a problem with the event, rather than getting a new character a whole 8 hours earlier.

Correct me if I'm wrong, the hero events used to start at this time during the day like two years ago. Not sure when it changed. This time would be 1pm est for me. Like others have said I'd rather the office workers be working during launch. Due to problems with people getting the correct amount of shards.

Event starts at 10 am here. Used to start at midnight. Maybe you should just move to a new time zone instead of whinning.

You aren't wrong. First time EP event (July/August 2016 iirc) was 1pm EST which is 1700 UTC.

I think this event is rushed and they are expecting a couple of problems, the reason I say this is because just yesterday when posting the calendar Crumb stated,

Padme Amidala's event, Aggressive Negotiations, will start at 10:00am PT instead of the usual time. Date is to be announced

Only to do a content update shortly and push the event into the game:

1. Either because poor communication and he didn’t know it was going to go live
2. Copy pasted an old template he had ready for May Calendar and didn’t proof read it
3. Event is a mess but they made a decision after posting the calendar to launch it the next day
